Manchester United are waiting to complete a deal for Arturo Vidal before making a decision on Marouane Fellaini’s proposed move to Napoli, according to Italian daily Tuttosport.
Earlier this week Napoli sporting director Riccardo Bigon was reportedly spotted with Fellaini and two agents, leading to speculation that the Belgian is ready to call time on his Old Trafford career after only one season.
The Italian club remain keen on signing the tall midfielder and have already contacted the 20-time English champions over the transfer of the former Everton man, being quoted an asking price of €25m.
However, Manchester United are ready to play a waiting game with Napoli, as they bid to resolve their own incomings first.
The Red Devils are currently working hard on a deal to sign Vidal from Juventus and want to seal his transfer before taking a decision on Fellaini’s future at the club.
